Script - Are YOU represented in TV drama ? Is your gender represented in TV drama? How about your ethnicity? Is your age or even your sexuality represented in TV drama? If yes ,then are you represented correctly?

Narcos:

Narcos is an American crime drama web television series created and produced by Chris Brancato, Carlo Bernard, and Doug Miro.Set and filmed in Colombia, seasons one and two are based on the story of drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, who became a billionaire through the production and distribution of cocaine, while also focusing on Escobar's interactions with drug lords, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents, and various opposition entities. Season three picks up after the fall of Escobar and continues to follow the DEA as they go up against the rise of the infamous Cali Cartel.

Narcos represents variety of different ethnicity and age. I personally do not agree that Pablo Escobar makes young children and teenagers work for him, gives them weapons and tells them to do all sorts of things such as: radio in when the police are leaving the station, when the police are nearby the drug lord's area or when they are searching houses. Escobar thinks by giving money back to the community and helping them out he is going to earn their respect, which he did however it does not give him the right to use children to do his dirty work.

Nowadays mostly Tv shows, films, games and advertisements have something to represent. They all carry a certain message or meaning; Narcos particularly has a message of how bad people such as drug dealers and corrupted police die in a very horrific way and that Colombia is a country flooded with drugs, because of the corrupt police and government it is very hard to solve this problem.

Vertical Integration - Production: Where the movie is created, shot and edited.
                                - Distribution: When the films r distributed to different cinemas.
                                - Consumption: At the cinema where people go and watch it


The Big 5 studios - these studios, known as The Big 5, were all vertically integrated.

They owned :

• Production (equipment and talent under contract)
• Distribution (marketing the films)
• Exhibition (the cinemas)

Hollywood now

• The Big 6 (for now) - 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, Walt Disney, Paramount, Universal and Sony Pictures.
• All part of conglomerates.
• Total value of the Big 6 - $430 billion 

Package production - In contemporary Hollywood, individual independent production companies put together a production - the studios will then ‘buy into’ the film, offering money in exchange for distribution rights and possibly leasing out facilities (the studio in which to film)

Production Companies - Legendary Pictures
- Blum House Productions

Distribution - Distributors will acquire a film for a fee and gain the rights to sell it (normally on all platforms). A % of box office will go back to producers (after they get back all the money they spend)

They will pay for the marketing of the film.This marketing budget can vary massively. The last Transformers film cost $210m to make and $200m to market.
